When I was born again
Words & Music by Dario Lastella.

It was so cold and dark,
snowflakes flew in my hair,
time was frozen that day
when I was born again.

Who’s that man in the mirror,
I don’t know anymore.
I am staring into space,
broken glass on the floor.

All those loving smiles, those loving words
are lost in shadows and I feel cold.

Was it me or was it you?
Is it me or is it you?
We’re fading away
drowning in the gloom.

It was so cold and dark,
I was dying again.
Wounds were burning my nerves,
I was fighting my hell.

Now I see through the mirror
my life burned to the ground.
That sink’s dripping again,
walls are flakin’ all around.

Silence dug so many holes so deep
inside my mind and I feel cold.

Was it me or was it you?
Is it me or is it you?
Maybe one day I’ll stop asking too.

Where are you now? Tell me…
Who’s with you now? Tell me…
Who are you now?Tell me…

Free! Finally you got your liberty,
you can express your identity.
Was it me or was it you?
Is it me or is it you?

40-14
Words by Dario Lastella. Music by Dario Lastella, Runal and Gianni Manariti.

Please don’t wake me now.
I don’t want to go out.
I can’t stand this rain,
it’s just too cold this winter morning.

I just can’t get over
J.M.Barry’s novel.
So please leave me alone,
I am a boy, I am just forty!

I don’t think I’ll cause any wordly sensation
Talking about my generation.

Forty Fourteen
I am too tired to run, I am too weak to fight.
Forty Fourteen
I took a seat to contemplate the flow of time.

Please don’t wake me now,
Too late to go out.
I can’t stand this sun,
it’s just too hot this summer morning.

People say I’m lazy,
But my life is hazy.
I have to keep calm,
Someone someday will fix it all.

I will fight their system, I’ll tear down their bulwarks.
I will keep on fighting on all social networks.

Laura
Words and Music by Dario Lastella.

You were wearing your glad rags.
Softly brushing your black hair.
A light whisper in the air.
Sweet-smelling breeze of May.
Laura, my darling, my wonderful dreamer,
hold me in your sweetest embrace.

I can see your green eyes.
Brighter mirror of my eyes.
Vision so lovely and mild.
Shine on my beautiful child.
Laura, my darling, my wonderful dreamer,
Where are you going tonight?

Leaves are falling down so slowly.
I can’t figure out where I’m going.
Tear drops are rolling again,
comfortably drownin’ in the rain.
Laura, my darling, my wonderful dreamer,
will you forgive me one day?

Now you’re wearing your white dress.
The wind is waving your black hair.
Whispering so far away.
Fadin’ in a dark shade of grey.
Laura, my darling, my wonderful dream,
you can’t disappear in a tear.

How I miss you, sweet child of mine…

You fade away
In a winter storm.
Laura, my darling, my wonderful dream,
Daughter of my nevermore.

You fade away
In a winter storm.
Laura, my darling, my wonderful dream,
Farewell my sweetest love.

I’ve never hated anyone
Words & Music by Runal and Dario Lastella.

I’ve never hated anyone but if you ask me I can start with you!

You must take care, my friend,
this town is changing, it’s turning into a jungle.
You must be scared, my friend,
Tarzan is screaming, he’s breaking in your garage.

A Clockwork Orange scenario while you’re watching your TV.
I’ve never hated anyone but if you ask me I can start with you!

You must take care, my friend,
this world is dirty, you better stay at home!
You must be aware, my friend,
everyone is evil, I read it on a blog…

Everyone is evil, you know, everyone but you!
I’ve never hated anyone…

I would like to thank you, my dearest friend.
I would thank you for your kind support.
I’m so happy knowing that
I can always count on you,
as you showed me when I called you,
but you weren’t there.

Please, tell me, who are you now?
Do you like what you are now?
You feel safe and warm in your golden cage,
you’re deaf and blind, you’re numb and tired,
you’re alone with you alibis!

Now look at me, look at you.
Dig that hole, paint it blue.
So my friend, guess the truth…
Finally I hate you!

Run away
Words & Music by Dario Lastella.

Damn the night that I lost myself and I didn’t mind the line.
Damn the day that I looked inside, when I found just your eyes.
Damn that time so far away, when you looked after me.
Now it hurts, it hurts so bad, but you don’t know what I mean.

Everything is easy now, everything so clear.
You don’t even need to talk, I know what you mean.
Yes I know, you’re not to blame, I’m just a fool.
Or maybe you are to blame, so don’t repeat your stupid rules!

That trick I call aesthetics
exposes my fragility.
Your special way to ethics
is driven by your vanity.
You know it’s too difficult
to merge fire and ice,
as fire burns out when there’s ice.

So kiss me now or kick me out,
hug me tight or shoot me down,
but please don’t leave me alone.
Love me now or smash me up,
raise me up or drag me down,
but please don’t leave me alone.
Look at me, what is wrong?
Listen now, am I wrong?
You know what’s going on.
Don’t mind how I feel,
run away from me.

When I look outside there’s the wall that we have built.
When I was so far away I could feel you close to me.
Now we are just poles apart even if I’m close to you.
I wonder if you’re missing me, I can’t be missing you!

Smash me up, drag me down,
kick me out, shoot me down,
run away, run away, run away, run away!
Smash me up, drag me down,
kick me out, shoot me down,
run away, run away, run away, run away!
Look at me, what is wrong?
Listen now, am I wrong?
You know what’s going on.
Don’t mind how I feel,
run away from me.

Flashback
Words & Music by Fabio De Libertis and Dario Lastella.

I see the shadows of today
intertwining with yesterday’s haze.
I can feel the fears of today
chasing all yesterday’s pains.

But now yesterday is not real,
today tomorrow is not real.
Today I own my life.
Today I own my time.

I lean my flickering gaze
on your fading out glaze
wiped out by the rain.

Fading to blue
Words & Music by Dario Lastella.

Gold is melting throughout the sky,
the air gets thicker all around the lights.
A creeping heatwave runs through my bones,
a loud sensation I can’t focus on.
A thousand voices seem just a sigh,
I hear them laughing, I paint a smile.
White lights are burying my memories
and I’m pretending I’ve never been here.

I always felt ridiculous
when I was begging for some scraps of glory.
I always looked pathetic
when I was tearing off a page of my story.
No need for more aesthetics,
no need for more hysteria,
I just misunderstood…
I want to dive in the blue.
I’m fading to blue.

This liquid is painting my glass with red,
sometimes I feel so sad…
I see a bitter taste,
my wine runs through my veins.
The sounds I smell outside
In this silent night.
The sea slips on the lights
Under that black sky.
The wave is crying on a cliff.
The dream is dying in the ink.

Now I can see a liquid sky,
can’t breathe, but I can smile.
I feel like a fool,
sometimes I cried for the moon.
I’m fading to blue.

The tide
Words & Music by Dario Lastella.

Mrs. Lawyer, why are you so surprised?
It’s not clever to underrate the tide.

The waters were increased upon the earth,
The sky looked darker on that night.
The waters were decreased above the war,
The dawn unveiled too soon a new sight.

It was so long ago, I can’t remember…
How long, how long I’ve been there…

The waters were increased upon the earth.
The sky was closed black on that day,
The waters were decreased, the earth dried.
The world looks very different today.

The waters prevailed upon the earth
and all the mountains drowned above the sea.
The waters dried above the earth,
only a solid rock is all you see.
